Lewis and Clark Community College’s Music Department will present holiday favorites, both old and new, during a Holiday Concert at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17 in the Hatheway Cultural Center’s Ann Whitney Olin Theatre.
“The holidays would not be complete without the fun of coming together as a music department to share some of our favorite holiday music,” said Susan Parton Stanard, associate professor of music and director of choral ensembles and vocal studies at L&C. “We hope the community enjoys listening to it as much as we enjoy presenting it.”
